Mine has been great the last few months, my signals are not what would typically be considered excellent, but are within the +- 10 range. This is wired, wireless is about half on AC right beside the WAP.
Also note that modem is bridged with a Ubiquiti UAP and USW.
Hello, @hiho
Thank you for your post. I was also very curious to know, my area is not listed yet for the 1 Gbps service.
@Community - please share your experience when you acquire the service, thank you all.
Cheers,

I would guess its VERY select areas to start.
There are areas which are still not provisioned fully for the 250/20 (only on 250/10).
Hello, @John-Paul
I appreciate your interest in the Rogers Ignite Gigabit Internet. At this moment, you can check the availability here. However, if the rollout schedule becomes available we will definitely update the Community, thank you for understanding.
Cheers,
RogersMoin
Probably going to be a bit of a process.. they need to upgrade equipment along the way to make areas compatable.
Last I saw.. looks like primarily GTA up to Newmarket.. and a few other major places.. thats about it right now 😞
Wow, thats a loaded question, and I happen to have the same router. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but
I don't think that there is any home router on the market that will keep up with 1 Gb/s service, even new very
expensive routers. The processing capability just isn't there for the vast majority of routers. I'll refer you to the
smallnetbuilder review of the RT-AC68U:
From that review comes the following throughput data:
Wan to Lan: 754.5 Mb/s
Lan to Wan: 824.6 Mb/s
Total Simultaneous: 808.0 Mb/s
The wifi numbers for the 5 Ghz network test show a max of 350 Mb/s down, ~310 Mb/s up. The wifi numbers are interesting to say the least.
To run this router and many others for 1 Gb/s service, you can probably say goodbye to using any of the
functions that are available in the firmware, and that happen to require any processing time at all. They will
definitely cause reduced throughput.
In short, the answer to running gigabit speeds will be something like a pfSense router, using the 68U or other,
as a wifi access point. There is also the question of whether or not any of the devices on your own network are
really prepared to run at that rate as well. So, lots of work to thoroughly prepare for gigabit rates.
Just installed today with Hitron CGNM-3552-ROG router modem.
These are speeds on my pc on second floor, modem on main floor. Download speed slowed to 349 Mb/sec on my wife's older PC in same room as cable modem, diretly connected to the modem even with gigabit network card. Speed slowed back to 170 Mb/sec once modem was bridged and connected to my sonicwall router TZ210. So I put it back as gateway and disconnected the sonicwall. I may upgrade to a newer sonicwall if I want to keep my old dual WAN setup.
Tech said signal in cable was good.
This thread is going to explode after all those ppl who signed up the $99 Deal for Gigabit + Cable VIP
Here is my speed now
Not quite 1G but why the variance with 2 results?
Not all speedtest.net servers have the same data rate capability. If you're looking to run a test with the CGNM-3552 installed, use the Toronto Telus server. It will give you a better result. I believe that speedtest.net chooses your server based on ping time, which may result in using a server that isn't the fastest one around.
